Our adventure this week is the District Meeting for Kiewit Power Constructors. This means a lot of meetings; some of which both of us attend but most of them are just for Paul. While the spouses aren't able to attend the Employee-only events, the spouses get planned events to participate in. Thursday we get a Q&A session with the President/CEO/Top-Gun of KPC, Howard Barton. Dinner is a nice buffet on Thursday. Friday the spouses get to tour the Expo (which is the educational meetings Paul gets to participate in during the Employee-Only time) then we get to do a Scavenger Style Hunt in Crown Center. What does that mean? I do not know but I plan to take plenty of pictures (if I can remember my camera!) Dinner on Friday is a plated dinner (always yummy!) and then followed by a dance.

Every year, the spouses and employees get "gifts" for attending. This year the employee gets a 2010 Date Diary aka Pocket Calendar and a rubber/silicone Kiewit bracelet. However, you can tell KPC loves the spouses more because we get a MP4 (Video MP3) player, speakers, and a "rape/attack" whistle (You know... the keychain whistle you can use if you can get ahold of it when you are being attacked or followed in a parking lot). I say the spouses made off better than the employees!

I've already downloaded Taylor Swift, some Miley, Jordan Sparks and some other music to keep my ears occupied when I get bored this weekend!

My favorite part of District Meeting is getting the change to communicate and hang out with other spouses of KPC employees. I have met some pretty awesome people this way and they have become good friends that I enjoy seeing every year!

So I leave you with a picture of the view from our room of the Crown Center Ice Rink and Fountain.
